Q: QuestionIs this a Gen 4 device
Asked by GenQuestion.
- A:Answer This is a different device, The Mini, it is about 1/3 the size of the gen 3. It is also lighter, and has a built in router, so it’s an all in 1 piece. They may still come out with a Gen 4 to replace the Gen 3 at some point. This is much easier to carry around and setup. I primarily use it for camping trips.

Q: QuestionCan I plug into type c port in my truck
Asked by Loui.
- A:Answer If your C port has enough power output and you have the correct cable, yes, it’s theoretically possible. I doubt your truck’s port is putting out enough watts tho. Mini would need 50+ watts at max draw, it idles around 15w - most ports are only doing 10-20 tops. You can buy a 12v adapter (cig lighter) that will easily power it - that’s what I use in my truck.

Q: QuestionHow many devices can run on it
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Up to 128 devices simultaneously, but the more connections you have, the slower speeds will be due to sharing bandwidth (think of it like highway traffic at rush hour vs 3am). Especially if you have 10+ devices all trying to stream HD content simultaneously. We have 4 TVs, 2-3 phones/tablets and a work computer all running on a Gen 2 standard with no noticeable dip in performance. I’ve run an Xbox, laptop, phone and tablet simultaneously on a mini with the same level of performance as well

Q: QuestionHow many devices can the mini handle running at one time? Could it handle a PlayStation and Xbox and a laptop gaming running on it at one time?
Asked by Stone.
- A:Answer If you’re getting good speeds it will. I consistently see speeds in the 150 MB/s range - latency might be a challenge for you depending on what you’re streaming/level of gaming is. Average gamer needs 15-25 MB/s for optimal gaming, streaming needs something like 10-15 most of the time. So unless you have 3 ultra serious pro gamers all playing CoD/Fortnite/etc simultaneously, the unit is capable. Latency under 50ms is considered good, less than 20ms spectacular. Screen shot is from my mini driving down the highway at 70+ mph My suggestion would be to get the gen 2 standard - both units are capable of supporting over 100 devices connecting simultaneously, but you’re going to get better max speeds out of a standard gen 2

Q: QuestionIs this suitable for an rv
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, this works well with an RV. It has different mounts if you want to permanent mount it to the top of the RV, unless you just want to set it up when you stop. You'd need to buy the Roaming package.

Q: QuestionIs the Starlink Mini kit exactly same like from SpaceX. Is there a reason why you sell it for a lower price that SPaceX itself?
Asked by Dan.
- A:Answer It is the same as the one from the website. The difference is that it will come pre-activated from Starlink. You will need to activate it if you buy it from BB. It is an easy process to create an account and activate it. I can't speak to the pricing but suspect that BB may have inventory from the last "sale". when we bought ours, it was the same price from both but I got instant gratification buying from BB.

Asked by Hello.
- A:Answer It will work best outside, but I tried it indoors and it did work. Trouble with my indoors was finding an unobstructed view. I have too many trees and bushes blocking the sky view.
